The Denver Broncos signed free-agent tight end Tommy Hudson to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Hudson spent time with the Tennessee Titans each of the last three years and had three catches for 31 yards in 2021. He was among five veterans who tried out during the team's rookie minicamp a few weeks ago. The 26-year-old will strictly be competing for a roster spot during training camp this summer and will probably be a long shot to make the roster. Denver also let go of running back Jacques Patrick on Wednesday to make room for Hudson. Patrick last played in the XFL this spring and had 115 carries for 443 yards for the San Antonio Brahmas.
Treylon Burks, Tommy Hudson Miss Minicamp Practice
Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks and tight end Tommy Hudson (leg) both missed the team's mandatory minicamp practice on Tuesday. Burks was spotted on a stationary bike, but he didn't actually practice with the team. The 22-year-old first-rounder is dealing with asthma and has been very limited during offseason workouts, losing valuable repetitions heading into his first NFL season. Burks should have a big role in Tennessee's offense in his first year with A.J. Brown now in Philadelphia, but it remains to be seen if the rookie can stay on the field enough to make a big enough impact for fantasy managers. Hudson was carted off the field last week at practice, but he might be ready for training camp next month.
